Re: Meaning of German word
Jim is correct - low. Only in this case it is in the superlative form so it translates as lowest.
tief = low. tiefer = lower. (comparative) tiefst = lowest. (superlative) In der tiefsten Tiefe = In the uttermost depths. L.

Re: Meaning of German word
In English it would probably be called tree-top height.

Re: Meaning of German word
Tiefstflug - as low as you possibly can fly over terrain.
Have a few very nice images in my collection were you can see trees and bushes lodged in the front edge of the wing.... Regards, Andreas B

Re: Meaning of German word
Thank you all! There was a Russian pilot shot down in which the height was listed as 2000 meters but in Tony Woods for 20Apr43 it has Lt. Rudolf Miethig 3./JG 52 Yak-1 85 312: Tiefst 08:22. Even thought the Yak-1 was found in the area the height is completely off for the account of who shot it down and I am waiting to see what was the time of the mission.
